Maple Leafs 4 v. Barber Poles 5 (SO)


Frankly, it's becoming a pain in the ass to have try to sing the same ol' song "Leafs deserved better, at least they got a point." Speaking of singing, there is nothing so good as scoring when the Habs fans are singing the "Goodbye" song during the 14th game of the regular season. Remember when they used to sing that only when they were eliminating teams from the playoffs? Yeah, neither do they. Kaberle picked up another four points, Toskala gave up another two terrible goals before doing his best Gargoyle impression during the shootout, and the Leafs once again let a good effort go to waste because of a lack of finishing.

Share your thoughts in the comments unless it's pro-Toskala.

"Let's go to a 10 minute OT..."

I would prefer that if at the end of regulation the game is tied, they play an extra frame, ie an extra period of play. I even wouldn’t mind if even if it wasn’t sudden death. This way if a team scores an early goal, it will be up up to the team down by a goal to storm back, maybe even score two to win. If it ends in a tie its a tie both teams either split the points or they get none – 2pts for a win and 0 for not.

Most of you should have been alive when they added the OT loss point.

They added it because previously if you lost in OT you got nothing, but if you rode out five minutes you got a guaranteed point for the tie. Teams sat back and played nothing but defense so as not to risk their point.

We’ve also gotten over the lethargic play of the first couple weeks. The team drive and desire is back in a big way.

2 late 3rd period comebacks in a row to get games to OT. That’s huge. Eventually that kind of effort translates into wins.

Tomas Kaberle has more points on the season than Sidney Crosby.

And in 2 less games, too. This guy is a beast. I’m so glad we didn’t trade him.

I`m drunk as shit so I don`t know if this has been discussed. But since when are you allowed to cross check someone into the the lane allowing the puck to bounce off them and in?

Good News Everyone!

1) Kessel could likely come back on Tuesday to face the Lightning.

2) THE MONSTER will be stopping the pucks in that game.

3) Tomas BEAST MODE Kaberle! Seriously, 17 points in 12 games? He has more points than Heatley, Parise and Crosby in less games! Norris, Art Ross, HART!!11

One for sure, arguably two.

Plus his penalty shoot-out stopping abilities were as pathetic as our forwards penalty shoot-out scoring abilities… Yeah, any competition that relies on the buds having superior goaltending and finish on scoring isn’t going to get us anywhere with today’s lineup.
